Synopsis

Mary Henry mysteriously survives a car wreck. In an effort to put this traumatizing incident behind her, Mary moves to Utah to take a job as a church organist. However, her fresh new start is interrupted by the haunting, relentless presence of a strange man who seems to follow where ever she goes.

Our take

An influence on David Lynch and George A. Romero, this lone feature film from Herk Harvey is a bona fide cult classic of both independent filmmaking and psychological horror. Atmospheric and unsettling, this haunting ghost story was innovatively shot on an impressively shoestring budget.
